Waiting

Life is always a rich and steady time when you are waiting for something to happen or to hatch.
-- E.B. White, Charlotte's Web

I'm glad that the baby stayed in long enough for the shower but now the waiting of his arrival (which could be any day) is tough!  I just want to meet him and hold him.  I want to hold his little fingers and touch his little toes.  I want to smell his skin and look upon his face.  I want to sing to him and watch him sleep.  I want to watch Jonathan hold him and see the tears in his eyes as he gazes upon his little boy.

It has always been hard for me to be patient.  I know that once the process of his arrival starts, my patience will be tested even more (along with my tolerance for pain and discomfort).  But in the end, I will get to meet my baby.... and all the patience and waiting will be worth it.
